Judging from his wardrobe, we think Cespedes will fit in here just fine.

Yoenis Cespedes is in Miami, and will meet with the Marlins tomorrow. Presumably, Loria's brain trust will give him the Joe's/Versailles/New Stadium tour that they gave Reyes, Pujols, Bell, et al in December. But wait, there's more!

According to an American League source from a club that's been monitoring his free agency, the Marlins likely will be his future employer.

Seriously, why wouldn't a Cuban defector want to play for a team in Miami that is on the upswing and willing to pay a high price for his services? At this point, I'd be more surprised if he signed with anyone but the Marlins...
